Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
MARCUS, Circuit Judge:
Kenneth Smith, who was convicted by a jury of a crack cocaine offense, appeals from the sentence imposed by the district court after it had granted his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion for a sentence reduction based on Amendment 706 to the United States Sentencing Guidelines. Smith argues that the district court abused its discretion in failing to grant him a greater sentence reduction either to the low end of his amended guideline range or below that range, and in failing to properly consider the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors. After thorough review, we affirm.
